DOWNTOWN — A California man who flew to Chicago for last weekend's Pokémon Go Festival is suing the festival, saying the botched event didn't have "the special Pokémon and other rewards" that were promised to players.

"Had my client known that he would spend the majority of the event waiting in lines and unable to play the Pokémon Go game, he would have stayed in California instead of paying money to fly to Chicago to attend the fest,” Chicago lawyer Tom Zimmerman said in a statement.

The festival promised special Pokéstops with increased Pokémon encounters, special challenges and rewards, as well as an exclusive game medal.
